XP clients in a 2000 Server domain

I've recently added some XP systems to a 2000 domain. I'm having a problem
with 2000 Pro clients seeing XP clients in a 2000 domain. For example, one
of the XP clients is sharing a printer. Only other XP clients can see or
connect to it - not the 2000 workstations or 2000 server.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jon,

This is a common name resolution issue in domains. You have to setup the domain
- and the clients - properly.
